What better than cookies for dessert? Cookies for breakfast! Okay, okay, these aren’t really breakfast cookies, but these oatmeal cookie pancakes are close enough to convince my belly that I had cookies for breakfast. I think the same logic would work for s’mores pancakes, right?

It didn’t occur to me how long it had been since I made pancakes until I saw this recipe. You would think after years and years of growing up with fresh pancakes made by my dad, that I would feel the absolute necessity to continue that trend on my own. Whoops, guess not.

Oh and in case I haven’t told you already my dad is pretty awesome in the cookie department as well, so a recipe combining the two was the perfect fix for my pancake drought.

Now the question changes – what’s better than cookies for breakfast??
